I've been slowly hand quilting these three panels of teddy bears sitting around enjoying watermelon in the sunshine. This fabric panel was looking for a good home at one of our Sew Wot meetings so I took it home. The quilting had already been started so I worked on it off and on, a little time here and there when the mood struck me. The idea was to finish the quilting then make three cushions for donation.
Three teddy bear panels quilted
Planning ahead, I had three cushion inners ready and waiting for this project. A quick look through my stash to see what to use for the cushion fabric - plan A was discarded as there wasn't enough fabric in the piece I was considering. Plan B was some left over backing fabric from an earlier project. So I measured, cut and stitched till the cushions were done.
Three teddy cushions
I'm quite pleased with how they turned out, and should make some little girls happy, I hope. I met up with Fleur for coffee last week, she is the co-ordinator of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren in this area. Together with the cushions I handed over some pencil pouches with coloured pencils, a couple of bags of marbles, and some toiletries for her to pass on to the children. With Christmas fast approaching, she was very grateful for these small gifts to pass on to the children.
Finishing up the pencil pouches
And talking about Christmas, I think it's time to get a few Christmas quilts out for display. One day this week, hopefully.

What lovely gifts for the children supported by this charity! I will start some Christmas decorating at the end of the month.
Really cute Teddy pillows and pouches, Jenny:))) Nice work hugs, Julierose
love those little pillows they are cute
Christmas is all about the children. It is so important to gift, we received so much in doing just that. I love your teddy pillows!
I love those teddy bear cushions. The pencil pouches are so pretty too.
I wonder if there is a group nearer me so I too can donate items for the children living with grandparents, They take on a huge task that lasts a lifetime. Love the teddies all finished.
Those cushions are adorable, Jenny! Such a good idea to quilt them in a panel all together and then cut apart for the cushion making step.
Your quilted teddy cushions are adorable, Jenny. The pencil cases are wonderful gifts no matter what age. Fabulous job. Enjoy your week. Hugs.
The teddy pillows are really cute, Jenny, and so are the pencil pouches. Great gifts for kids. It's time to decorate for Christmas and the wall quilts will be up this week.
The cushions are gorgeous and the pencil pouches are a great idea!
Cute teddy cushions and very nice pencil cases. Job well done.
I’m sure they will all be very much appreciated. You’ve done a lovely job with them. We need to start to think about Christmas soon, too. It has snuck up so quickly.
The cushions are wonderful as are the pencil pouches (or what we would call pencil cases). Very sure both were well received.
God bless.
All will be loved for sure....so cute xx
What thoughtful and wonderful gifts both for the girls and for the school children!
